To compensate for the loss of 50 percent of a person's functional skin surface, the environment can be modified by implementing moisture control systems, such as humidifiers, to maintain skin hydration and prevent dryness. Additionally, the use of protective clothing and specialized wound dressings can safeguard the remaining skin and promote healing. Creating a controlled environment with temperature regulation may also help reduce stress on the skin. Lastly, integrating assistive technologies for mobility and daily activities can enhance independence and quality of life.
